Thank u for your amazing effort man. But al muwahidun were not "fondamentalist" they were lunatic heretics as u know by your own doc even the most strict shariah applied by campanions of prophet Muhammad peace be upon him we r not allowed even to be unjust towards dhimmis let alone killing them along side the muslims this type of sect is called khawarej they were predicted by prophet Muhammad who described them as dogs of hell n that their daily prayer (salet) would be even better than the one of the campanions yet they r devient from the straight path. The way u wrote on the screen al madhi (=the past) its al Mahdi (the guided one) n its obvious now he was not the Mahdi rather like u said just a heretic extremist sufi

I feel like this example, along with examples we see today, religious fanaticism provides minimal gain. All it does is push your enemies to be just as zealous and vicious as you so it creates this cycle of increasing animosity. I would say Abdur Rahman III's rule also proves that religious cohesion is superior. When the Muslims allowed the Jews and Christians to flourish, the Muslims themselves gained off their work, and they were definitely crucial in creating the Al-Andalus golden age.

Enjoying the podcast at the moment, you mention something that made me think. There is a long history of holy war. Following the concept of holy war as a throughline in a series might be very interesting.
@FlashPointHx6 жыл бұрын
I agree, however another fan pointed out that he did not feel that there was such a thing as holy war prior to the Crusades. I don’t exactly agree with this opinion. I think that the biggest difficulty in identifying what holy war is, is the definition of holy war itself. It’s different depending on which person you ask. I’m curious what you would have in mind when you speak of the history of holy war. Where would you start? Who would you identify?.
@endo_kun_da5 жыл бұрын
@@FlashPointHx It's a very good question and could make for a challenging doctoral dissertation. There are a lot of points to touch on to do this question any justice and tough to put together as a response in a concise KZbin comment. It seems as though the Western crusades were a religiously driven response to the initial expansion of Islam. Like you say, whether we can call that initial growth of Islam as a 'holy war' is up for debate - I too would like to learn more before applying the term. I do think however, there is a greater discussion of monotheism and its affect on the human psyche. Does a cultures belief in a singular God make them more warlike? Does it become easier to ascribe the supernatural will of a God to ones side in battle as opposed to the will of multiple gods? Further questions would be if there are examples of military expansion under other monotheistic cultures before Islam? If not, was there some sort of spark for some sort of backlash propelling religious war and what were they? Did Constantine's embrace of Christianity have any lasting impact on cultures to the east? Ultimately I only have more questions but I do think there is something within the discussion that is very intriguing and you indirectly deal with in your videos on religious wars. There's my 2 cents on that, I will leave you to mull them over. Always looking forward to your upcoming creations!
@FlashPointHx5 жыл бұрын
The further I go into this series, the more historical landmines I find. Was there tolerance in Islamic Spain? Why did the Crusades happen? I always want to drop my own opinion - but I find myself stopping short and trying to stick to the idea of keeping the historical narrative going. I personally think that the concept of a God - either polytheistic or monotheistic is an extension of the people who created them. What is it that Mark Twain said? "God created man in his own image, and man (being a gentleman) did likewise." Aggression, apprehension of the unknown, attempting to explain the natural world, and curiosity all got baked into that creation of a divine being - a primary mover. I think it is also a natural aspect of a civilization to perceive itself as being better that its peers and thus its God will need to be the same. War against her neighbors is an extension of that. For the definition of Holy War, I'd say St Augstine of Hippo's City of God has a decent explanation - but alas each question you ask above is a pHD thesis and not easily addressed in a youtube comment section. I do agree that the more one looks into these questions, the more questions are generated. Love your insight Ed, hope to hear more from you in the future! @@endo_kun_da

I am Coptic orthodox grew up I Egypt . I have been visiting many European countries . Spain was one of them I visited four times till now . I heard a lot about religious tolerance in Islamic Spain . To me it is not different at all from what I lived in Egypt . Yes, in Cairo the capital we live next to each other peacefully and close and we make friends with each other BUT you know and they know and the states law that we are second degree citizens . Certain jobs ,like in military , police, government,universities,legislative institutions, we are ((almost )) forbidden to think to apply even if someone proved to be better for the job than his fellow Muslim . Leave the capital and go to upper Egypt or any rural areas and you will find real harassment , kidnapping young girls to force them into Islam ,some eras in the long history they kill fellow Christians in the neighborhoods if refused Islam as religion. Till this time we are relatively protected by the military command under the new president . Christians in Egypt submit to a dictator military background president just to protect themselves from Islamic fanatics. So Please Please Be very conservative and cautious when western historians use the word Religious Tolerance of Islamic Spain!!

Holy War is a combination of 4 things I believe. 1. Its the primal violent human psyche, actually not just human, primate psyche because chimpanzees exhibit this behavior too, that motivates. It blinds the mind into yearning for a fight or flight response and vicious hatred to the point of death for the other. The reason this exists must be some evolutionary advantage maybe to do with hunting other animals like deer and running from others like saber-tooth cats. That leads to the second reason. 2. A classic us vs. them. What better reason than religion to justify if you are with us or against us. And against us because of belief, well that's punishable by death. Again it ties to prehistory when for millennia, actually 100,000s years worth of prehistoric man, small communities of hunter gathers needed to band together for survival and all encounters with other groups must be considered hostile initially, you never know? "That's them that lives on the other side of the hill, they believe in different spirits than us and oh yeah they look different, talk different, and stole some stuff and woman from us a couple generation ago too". It might even stem from the human vs. neanderthal or the other human like types that coexisted with modern humans. That Us vs. Them mentality will always be in the human brain forever and it is still causing problems. 3. Almost nothing motivates the mind more for a group of people exhibiting peer pressure on each other than religion. Really not religion but belief. It usually is benign maybe leading to some xenophobia but it can quickly spiral out of control involving both my 1 & 2 reasons into, "oh we need to kill someone if they aren't going to drink the Kool Aide we been all sipping on". This motivating factor of belief and thinking God or Allah or Zeus or Thor is on your side from the paranormal is almost like a hallucinogen. It is a unique human quality. And many millions have marched into their violent or otherwise death because of it. But also used that as justification for their actions. 4. Humans are crazy, and I say this in the broadest sense not as a mental health dis. An imperfect "perfect design in Gods image" that has many faults, each and everyone of us forever in history and into the future.

Well,the almohads were in no way more 'orthodox' nor 'fundamental' in regards to Islamic teachings than their moravid enemies,in fact they were more deviants than orthodox,the almoravids were Maliki sunni's though. The almohads never followed,as you might call it,Orthodox or fundamental islam until the reign of Ya'qub Al-mansor the golden. Their greatest ruler.

The Crusades were nothing but wars of extermination, even the Christians did not survive them. As for us, we did not kill a single civilian, wounded or captive. We did not create a single city. We let Christians and Jews live with us. We did not impose Islam on anyone.

@anwar8housni3 жыл бұрын
our sources Do not describe the Moroccan-European wars as religious So the approach you started with is generally incorrect But it was patriotic in the first place, and Islam was only an ethnic cover And I will prove this by using two clear examples from the history of Morocco, one before Islam and the second after Islam The beginning will be by reviewing a paragraph from the book The World Order by Henry Kissinger, the former US Secretary of State, in which he talks about the Roman Empire's liberation of Spain from the Moorish (Moroccan) invasion. The Moroccans invaded Roman Spain more than three times in a row, spanning the years of the reign of the Roman Emperor Hadrian until the era of the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius, almost since the assassination of the Moorish Prince Lusius Quietus in 118 AD, by Emperor Hadrian, which led to the outbreak of Moorish military campaigns from Morocco against Rome all the way to Until the year 178 AD, the date of the end of the last Moorish campaign against Spain, with its defeat at the hands of the Roman army corps of Emperor Marcus Aurelius, that is, we are talking about a Moroccan-Roman war that lasted for more than 60 years, in Iberia The second clear example is stopping the Ottoman advance in North Africa militarily. If Islam is the only thing that pushes Morocco to war with the Europeans, then it is illogical to go to war against a Muslim empire , and at other times we ally with the Europeans against the Ottomans. The reason was patriotic. Moroccans do not accept being ruled by any stranger, be it Turkish, European or Arab, and we have made Islam an ethnic cover in order to justify our expansion. And also to give more legitimacy to the rulers of Morocco

I find disgusting the way you refer to Christianity and particularly the idea that motivated the Crusades or Holy war. You ignored that Christianity was fighting against an enemy with the idea of Jihad or Holy war. You ignore that the mentioned Jihad led Islam to conquer former Christian lands in the Middle East and North Africa not to mention Spain in the 7th and 8th century 400 years before the first Crusade. The idea of Jihad came into being from the very inception of Islam in the 7th century. I just quote Sudra 9:5 from the Quoran also called the verse of the sword "hunt the infidel wherever you find them. If they do not submit behead them" Hence, Crusaders borrow the idea of Holy war from their enemies. How can you judge people from the 11th century under your secular point of view? I find particularly disgusting how much you dislike Christianity.

Btw : Morocco was never invaded by the ottomans and we were never a France colony, we had the status of a protectorat, also rabat was the capital of morocco back to the rule of Saadid empire, those who defeated Portuguese and ottomans and kept the sherifian empire (morocco) independent until 1912. Btw : We as moroccans aren't similar to tunisian and algerian and we have nothing in common.

@Antoine Shelby yes the one of the founders was a moroccan. However the ruling class and warriors come from the gudala and lam-tuna tribes in West Africa.
